Yes, I designed and have been delivering a course for Masters students at the Australian National University using the latest e-learning techniques. But much of this is just adoption of traditional communication and learning techniques to a new environment.

I find I still have to teach the students about the basics of how to compose a good answer to an e-tutorial question and about how to reply to comment on the online forum.

The topic of the course is Green ICT Strategies (sustainable computing) but we spend a lot of the course on the basics of professional communication.

Previously I have trained public servants in e-literacy and believe there is a need for basic training in how to use the web and Internet for professional communication. Currently I am working up a proposal for a course to teach e-literacy to professionals.
